No! But you do not honor the orphan
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
كَلَّ
But no!
meaning, the matter is not as he claims, neither in this nor in that. For indeed Allah gives wealth to those whom He loves as well as those whom He does not love. Likewise, He withholds sustenance from those whom He loves and those whom He does not love. The point is that Allah should be obeyed in either circumstance. If one is wealthy, he should thank Allah for that, and if he is poor, he should exercise patience.
From the Evil that the Servant does regarding Wealth
Allah said,
..
بَل لاَّ تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity!
This contains the command to honor him (the orphan).
Abu Dawud recorded from Sahl bin Sa`id that the Messenger of Allah said,
أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ كَهَاتَيْنِ فِي الْجَنَّة
The guardian of the orphan and I will be like these two in Paradise.
And he put his two fingers together - the middle finger and the index finger.
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
